Dr. Ir. Boni Swadesi, S.T., M.T., IPU: Building Synergy in EOR Research and Innovation with OGRINDO ITB

Dr. Ir. Boni Swadesi, S.T., M.T., IPU – Project Manager of OGRINDO ITB, who plays an active role in strengthening research and collaboration in the field of Enhanced Oil Recovery (EOR).

With more than two decades of experience in petroleum engineering, Dr. Ir. Boni Swadesi, S.T., M.T., IPU is one of the key figures behind the advancement of research and development of Enhanced Oil Recovery (EOR) technology in Indonesia. Currently, she serves as the Project Manager of OGRINDO ITB, coordinating various research projects and strategic collaborations between academia, industry, and research institutions to promote the sustainable application of EOR technology.

🧠 Educational and Academic Background

Dr. Boni earned her Bachelor’s degree in Petroleum Engineering from UPN “Veteran” Yogyakarta, the university where she now serves as a lecturer and also as the Head of the Petroleum Engineering Department. Her passion for research led her to continue her Master’s and Doctoral studies at the Institut Teknologi Bandung (ITB), both in Petroleum Engineering.
Her research focuses on the integrated surfactant injection mechanism for light oil in sandstone reservoirs, as well as the development of 1D and 2D polymer injection models to evaluate the squeezing and sweeping mechanisms in the EOR process.

⚙️ Professional Contributions and Achievements

As both an academic and practitioner, Dr. Boni is actively involved in various leading research projects at EOR Lab ITB, LAPI ITB, and OGRINDO ITB. Some of the key projects she has led or coordinated include:
